minor oil leak.

[MakotoS13]

so i'm changing my AC belt on the ole single slammer right? while i'm down there i notice how my freshly cleaned sway bar is now oily. i look up and notice a few drops of crude... further up i see traces of oil that seems to have come from this little half moon shaped puck jsut below the valve cover gasket:

if i knew what it was called i'd search but sadly i am ignorant of this technical term. im hoping its just some sort of gasket problem.

if you's guys have anything to add feel free to lay it all out.


thanks gang.

You probably need a new valve cover seal, but dont take my word on it. Im learning as i go.

It's part of the gasket. I don't know the name of it.. but get a new nissan gasket and it'll be replaced. And Permatex Grey RTV like we talked about on AIM.
